Stanley Kramer – Ship of Fools (1965)

“What do a dwarf, anti-Semitic Germans, tolerant Jews, Spanish political prisoners, and 600 Mexican deportees all have in common? They’re all on board the Ship of Fools, an epic seafaring melodrama directed by the legendary Stanley Kramer (It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World). Nominated for eight Academy Awards™ in 1965, it’s an uneven but wholly watchable picture made better by at least one excellent performance, and a host of familiar faces from Hollywood past.” – DVDVerdict.com
